At this mont, a thunderous sound of footsteps ca from afar, as if so animal was running wildly.
Moreover, the sound was getting closer.
The Eldest Prince turned his head to look, oh dear! My goodness! It was actually a striped big tiger.
Looking more closely, sothing seed amiss. From the bloodstains all over its body, it was obviously an injured tiger, and severely injured at that, because its walking posture was clearly staggering, looking as if it might collapse at any mont.
Seeing this, the Eldest Prince was overjoyed and thought, truly, Heaven does not disappoint a diligent man. At this crucial mont, even Heaven favored him, presenting him a tiger on a silver platter.
He stood hidden, watching excitedly without daring to approach hastily, fearing to startle the tiger, causing it to counterattack, which he had no desire to sacrifice himself needlessly for.
"Boom...!"
In less than a quarter of an hour, the tiger finally collapsed from excessive blood loss, unable to sustain its strength, it fell to the ground with a thud.
The Eldest Prince, seeing this, stepped forward to deliver a few more slashes, making sure it was completely dead before clumsily loading it onto his horse’s back. He then rode back cheerfully, thinking of bringing this big tiger back and see if they still dared to laugh at him.
Dragging the tiger’s corpse, the Eldest Prince left full of joy. anwhile, the pitiable Fourth Prince, like a madman, was searching around the forest in vain, unable to find that severely injured tiger.
With the ti of an incense stick nearing its end, returning empty-handed was truly disheartening. The Fourth Prince wandered the forest, still determined to find that tiger and make a good impression before his imperial father.
Just then, faint sounds ca from ahead. The Fourth Prince turned his head and, surprisingly, it was Situ Qinger, making him pause in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Situ Qinger looked gently at the Fourth Prince and said coyly, "Fourth Prince, I missed you, so I ca to find you."
"This is so dangerous! You should hurry back."
"Fourth Prince, you’re worried about Qinger, aren’t you?" The voice was full of delight.
Earlier, while she and Xuexue were strolling in the mountain passes, she seized the opportunity when Situtu Xueer wasn’t paying attention to sneak away just to co and find the Fourth Prince alone.
Although this woman before him behaved indecently, associating with servants and causing him embarrassnt, facing the pitiful look of Situ Qinger, the Fourth Prince’s heart wavered a little.
This woman was stunningly beautiful, especially when she looked so pitiful, making her even more endearing.
"Yes, I am concerned for you. While it’s still early, you should hurry back."
Situ Qinger pouted and coquettishly said, "No, Qinger won’t leave. Qinger wants to accompany the Fourth Prince."
The Fourth Prince, being a young and vigorous man, found his temper rising. Eventually, he couldn’t resist any longer, turning to lift her onto his shoulder, heading towards the little forest.
After the ti of Half a Cup of Tea, the two leisurely walked back out.
"Fourth Prince, when will you take back to the mansion?"
"We’ll talk about it later."
What a joke! A woman like her was fine for fun, but to marry her? Better not, he had no desire to drown in the world’s disdain.
"How long is later?" Situ Qinger asked pitifully. Now she had beco like a mouse crossing the street, beaten by everyone, her days were difficult. She needed the Fourth Prince to help her through this hardship.
The simplest and most direct way was to take her back to the fourth prince’s mansion, giving her a title, so that even if everyone despised it in their hearts, on behalf of the Fourth Prince, they wouldn’t dare say anything more.
